This might be an old question, but i never updated yet to fc09 . I'm confused what to do after booting the temporary ROM. Do i go to settings and search latest update? Or it update by itself when booting the temporary thing. Also I'm confused by what cm9 refers to update your profile. Does profile mean the fc09 modem? Or is that some other thing i can benefit of doing. Thanks!

You're asking several questions.
.....[1] FC09 is the latest Official Samsung firmware for the Epic4G device; FC09 also refers to the modem 'FC09 modem'
.....[2]. If you want to update to FC09 firmware you;
A. ODIN the FC09 tar file (full FC09 ROM, stock)
B. ODIN the EL30 tar file, + the OTA FC09 immediately updates your device for you (fr here you'd ODIN the CWM5.0.2.7, remove battery after complete, THEN 3-finger boot to CWM, flash CM9.)
.....[3]. Q: what do you mean temp ROM?
If you're rooted, running CM9, you may use the 'temp-kexec-BML' to flash a modem delta ZIP from your sd card, so for instance: you may update from modem EL30 to modem FC09, then once done you reboot right back to CM9 but w/ a new modem (depending on geography, this may improve your data speed.)
IE, If your current modem is EL30, have a modem delta EL30-to-FC09 zip file in your sd card ready before booting to CWM where you'd flash the temp BML kexec......you're in a temp BML recovery now; locate your modem delta zip file + flash, once complete you're booted back to CM9.)
.....[4]. Q: Profile? You must be referring to the temp-kexec-FC09...........this is very different: it boots to a temp stock FC09 ROM, allowing you to Update Profile + Update PRL; fr power off, this utility reboots you right back to CM9.

Of benefit to all others --not you adlebo-- that are interested:
It's best to begin from the fundamentals: How to Root your Epic 4G using ODIN..........or you may end up in a soft-brick, or else a perma-brick, careful, there guys! Do a little reading --Paul627g has several threads devoted exclusively to this subject-- and of course, we can guide you further as need be

[adlebo]

I was reading that with flashing the delta zip there is a chance of data corruption. If that's the case i think i will stay with the el30 modem because I'm pretty happy with it. Unless you think that it will work without issues, because i don't want to use odin to fix problems and lose all my apps and data.
Secondly, can i use the other temp ROM (which temporarily boots into fc09) even though I'm not using the fc09 modem? I would like to use that to update the prl.
Thirdly, I'm still not sure what is meant by "profile"? & where do i go to update the profile once i boot? Thanx!

[sonarchist]

The FC09 modem delta zip is fine.......to be safe you can also ODIN the FC09 modem-only TARmd5, will not affect your data, you'll reboot back to CM9.

The Temp-kexec-FC09 does NOT require you to be on FC09 nor to have FC09 modem, it merely boots you to a temporary version of Stock FC09 where you may run your updates...........from re-boot you return to CM9 but w/ your new updated PRL + Profile.

Nicely done on the ROM; it has brought my Epic 4G back to life as a wifi device...used plenty around the house now.

Im on cm9 latest beta and i have a problem. When I connect to the PC and select USB storage the phone makes contact but then shuts off. Im talking anout the phone just shuts off. Then I reboot the phone and retry to make contact with the PC USB storage and it goes the second time around. But i would like to know if anyone else is experiencing this issue and what can I do about it?

i had a similar issue on beta, where my windows machines wouldnt recognize the device, after i cleared up some ram and clutter on my phone, it started working again. My problem was probably user caused, try connecting it to a diffrent computer and see what happens?

I updated beta2 to beta3 , without losing any apps or any information at all! Cleared the cache and the dalvik, very smooth transition!!

Anyone currently running beta3 + wishing to explore the inherent differences between CM9 + AOKP --if only to appease your insatiable curiosity!-- it'd be best for you to download AOKPbuild37 (newest release, DL fr aokp blogspot) to your sd card; next, wipe cache/dalvik cache ONLY, then from CWM5.5.0.4 flash AOKP + GApps-429, boot to system ...............+ see your CM9 settings migrate right over, yes, easy as that! You will want to make a complete nandroid backup of your current CM setup first, of course............then explore + enjoy!

Epic CM Team member Alias8818, dev/maintainer of all things AOKP for the og Epic 4G, enjoys a back-n-forth relation between both teams, allowing a graceful span across the bridge that exists between these two very different ROMs..........it also helps that both are driven by ICS/Android4.0.4/+ somehow share the basic CyanogenMod geneology!

FYI= there are several CM sites that post updates, if only to advance dialog around current CM development (+ cool stuff due to arrive in the near future: apollo music, yea?).......for those that may be interested, here are a couple of links to the expanded CyanogenMod World:

PS: @LanceEpicSprint, will you let us know what you think of AOKP?

It seems if I send a text that goes over the 160 character limit (thus sends 2 texts) it comes over as random symbols to the recipient. I haven't seen my friends phones who have told me this to be able to better describe the "symbols" but anyone else having a similar issue?

[sonarchist]

@smashclash

Open your mms app, menu/settings + set your 160 split there (messages should split, no symbols, from send)..........now, if your friends have not set their devices to 160 split, then ???!?

just throwing this out there, i"ve been running the new CM9 RC0 epicmtd KANG rom along side with the updated shadowkernel CM9_v0.6.3.1 for the last 24hrs and its crazy fast. almost zero lag when CPU set at 1400mhz, 3x better wifi speeds and what seems like better 3g speeds also. battery life is about the same as stock kernel. only thing hitch so far is tried running Vellamo to get a benchmark baseline but the phone reboots mid test, not sure why..... but other than that everything else is very smooth

[hevenz1]

Is anybody else getting crappy battery life? I drop %30 in a hour.surfing the web on wi fi ..Ijust checked again..from fully charged to1 hour 31 min I'm at 53% battery power. Any suggestions? I don't wanna go back to gb..ics is nic3e!

CM9_Beta4-pre3 is here:



Found it browsing thru CM blog earlier today; it provides a tiny bit longer light on capacitive buttons; it provides Lockscreen Weather function; access to Apollo music player direct from app drawer; + it provides a scrolling function from ClockworkMod recovery so that you can navigate without having to click every step of the way If you have experienced the recent ShadowKernel_CM9v0.6.3.1, you're perhaps already familiar w/ this function as it's a lot like that.

These are some of the more immediate changes that come w/ beta4-pre3..................also: a new kernel from wtogami, smooth!

I've been running beta 3 since may 11 apparently......I thought this was a new upgrade and got excited but quickly realized I had it installed already, lol!

[sonarchist]

Actually, the update released today May 29...........it's the start of several releases leading to beta4. Link + Changelog added on post above yours

[GrooveRite]

Im sorry sonarchist, I thought you were talking about beta3, lol. I need to read better and pay more attention, lol!

[sonarchist]

........no problema! There's always a benefit to a re-flash, feels zippier 2 me anyways!.................enjoying Apollo music player; only thing, wishing it came in black --otherwise, always glad to see new advances on CM9!

beta4 can be installed the same as beta3 (from beta2) correct? that is, download beta4, put on sd card, boot in clockwork, install update from sd card, reboot phone. done. correct?

Essentially correct, except 'install zip from sd card' then 'choose zip from sd card'............NOT 'install update from sd card'........also, depending on length of time from last GApps update, you will want to flash the most recent 'gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip' immediately after CM9beta4-pre3, THEN boot to system.

Temporary Kexec test kernel instructions:


Note: WIMAX will only work for those running CM9beta4-pre3/5............install instructions + update notes are included in above link.......+ it's worth reiterating: CM9 3.0.x Kernel is a temporary TEST kexec release only, NOT intended for everyday use............once this build is STABILIZED we will have an official release by Bbelos + Epic CM Team.
